Mike Jones?

Thoughts? I can't help but think there's something missing. He was GASSED at the end.

 

well, for openers, that is the time and the place to be gassed, the end.

He looks overly muscled to me. In some of the pics he looks like a MW, not a WW.

 

Which means if a big fight is still on the table late, I'm not so sure I like his chances.

 

Well at least he doesn't gas too soon. That said he appears to be more physique than talent. He will pick up a title I am sure of it but I do agree in that I see late-round TKO's {L} on his resume down the line.

 

He gassed in the 2nd round last time.

 

Ah well he punched himself out, he avoided that mistake last night.

 

I like Jones. He's a good fighter, though admittedly nothing special. I'd say he's a poor man's Vernon Forrest.

He's got a bright future though, cause take away Manny and Floyd and theres no special fighters from 147-154.

I'd make Jones a live underdog to beat Berto.

A Jones-Alvarez matchup sounds interesting to me in about a year.

 

alvarez...another guy Berto won't fight.

 

Pretty soon I think Alvarez would probably KO Berto. Canelo is pretty damn hittable, and a bit slow on his feet.... but I have little faith in Berto taking Canelo's punch.

 

There were some things that I did like from Jones like workrate, movement, and a good jab. However, I was a little disturbed that he couldn't put that slow little plodder away. My God, he could hit hit melon at will.

 

Canelo has to get past Matthew Hatton first.......:nono::nono:
























:nana:

 

Mike Jones' jab was perfect last night. Props to Soto to getting through the fight.

 

I don't see what's special about Mike Jones. He beat Soto Better than last time but I could care less about either guy. Neither guy makes me want to see them against bigger competition.

 

I'm not so sure he doesn't have one. I think he was trying to fight without one on purpose last night... he certainly looked like he had one when he blew his load on their first fight.

Still, there's no excuse for not getting Soto-Karass outta there last night.

 

you serious? Id pick berto to beat alvarez

 

Its an interesting fight. Canelo has yet to fight anybody with any quickness, let alone the speed Berto has. But Berto has yet to be hit by anyone as powerful as Canelo.

 

Canelo might be the worst "can't miss" prospect I've ever seen.

 

Micheal Grant has something to say about that.

Canelo isnt as good as his hype though, I agree.

 

If they fought each other next, I would too.

Saying that, I still don't know Berto would fight him. ::

I like Alvarez, he's got entertaining style...but the kid's 20.

 

The Canadian that ko'ed Camachita Jr is the best Prospect in boxing...and a future star....

 

I didnt watch this fight but I did see the first match. Soto K showed a good chin in the first fight. Was he ready to go in this one?

 

No

 

Alvarez, for a guy who gets hit as much as he does doesn't really take a great punch either. Cotto had him in trouble early and got his respect quite a bit. I'd pick Berto to KO Alvarez, although Berto could get KO'ed as well.

 

Isn't Jones fighting Brook for one of the belts next or something?

 

Was thinking about the same thing.

 

aside from his promoter, who's calling him a cant miss prospect?

 

Fair enough. I'm just sensing a lot of hype.

 

Why the fuck NO? Don't hate on the Canadian....Euro..:flip:

Compromise. He's the best Canadian prospect in boxing
